"Change Here For — "
The station master in charge of one of the biggest railway junctions in this colony carries a Waterbury watch, and despatches a great many tr*in« daily by it, Its accuracy, he aays, is unimpeachable, and there ii not the least neceßßity for paying more than 13b 6d for a really reliable time-keeper. This is a fact, and if imitation be the nincerest form of flattery the Waterbury watch is the most flattered article in the world. " Hosts of watches "as good as it 5 (vide "gents' claims) have sprung np since its introduction, and thousands of them are now obtainable at from two to five shillings each. This is more than they are worth as. ornaments, and as they will not keep time, and are too dear for ballasting steamers, their owners sometimes try to sell them as Waterbury r. Don't be deceived, however. The Waterbury has no equal at any price.
